[RFC PATCH 0/3] HACKING cleanups

Inspired by the recent application of Ben's patch.
I don't know if it is worth trying to omit mention of HACKING
from the generated ChangeLot. gitlog-to-changelog has an
--ignore-matching option that could be used to filter out
all commits that are git-only (in which case I would retitle
these commits to match that pattern, as well as modify Makefile.am
to specify the option). But as far as I could tell, the
gitlog-to-changelog --amend option can't be used to specify
commits to completely ignore (and even if it could, how do
you ignore the very commit that is tweaking that file, given
that you don't know the commit id until after the tweak is
committed).
